The view is an amazing part of the experience of staying at Shine’s place. With its two-story window facing Thong Lor, and another window facing east to Ekamai, Shine’s duplex offers great views of this side of Bangkok at any time of day or night. And from the rooftop pool, gym, and lounge area, you get views of not only Thong Lor but also some really nice homes in the opposite direction, including a replica of the US White House!
The apartment, as well as the lobby and the rooftop lounge area, are all elegantly furnished in contemporary style. The lounge upstairs is especially opulent and impressive.
Shine provides an incredibly detailed and helpful guide to the building and the surrounding area. He also met me downstairs and gave me a personal tour of all the amenities. Very friendly.
The street is very quiet, which is really great in contrast to the buzz and excitement of Thong Lor only five minutes away. There is a great cafe directly across from Shine’s buildings, and multiple other cafes and restaurants up and down the block. There are also street food vendors at the main road, plus a couple of all-night restaurants.
The only caveat is that the kitchen feels a bit small, with the loft directly overhead and the bathroom taking up half of the unit’s width there. The kitchen is serviceable but a bit cramped.
Otherwise, this is a comfortable and photogenic space in a high quality building!
